Police Gassed At A Protest
This is a story from a previous black lives matter protest I was at a few days ago. So I was up at the front of the group of protesters and the police were in front of me. Me and my friends strung a donut at the end of a stick to lure the police closer to shame them. Unfourtunately no police officer came close as night fell the crowd spread out and was pushing the police back. The protest started to become violent and tear gas was coming in our direction. I saw one in the air flying towards us, that is when I spun around and kicked the gas can as hard as I could and it flew into the polices direction. The crowd cheered but more was coming and now they were shooting back with rubber bullets. I was in the frontlines and I tried to protect my fellow black protesters. Unfourtunately I had to move because the police were ramming into us with their vechiles to get us to spread out. I saw a African American person sitting with their hands up when the police walked over to them. I ran over to see what was happening and the officer pulled out a can of pepper spray. I jumped infront of the African American person to prevent them from getting sprayed. My eyes were burning. I was a victim of police brutality but I stopped someone from possibly getting killed in the end.
Anyways keep fighting the good fight! X
